The Broncos should make a good 2nd half run. They're 3-3, with all 3 losses coming to current division winners. Those 6 teams have win totals that add up to 24. Their next 10 games? The opponent win totals add up to 20 and they face only one winning team in Baltimore.

I didn't see it but everytime I've seen Cooley speak, he's always been impressive to me. Might have just been an off day.

Apparently Richard Sherman has changed his name to Optimus Prime for his battle with Megatron this weekend.

He just changed his Twitter handle, not his actual legal name. That would just be ridiculous

So if the Vikes win tonight how many playoff teams are coming out of the NFC North? I know it's early, but both wildcard teams are more then likely coming this division leaving only division winners outside of that.

I'd cool it a little bit on Vikings playoff talk. They still have to play the Bears x2, Packers x2, Texans, and the Seahawks. Their schedule isn't easy the rest of the way.

I hate to call a week 8 game a must win, especially for a 5-2 team, but if they drop this one I really don't see them making it. They'll only be clearly favored in 2 of their last 8 games after tonight.

Let's just say they take care of business and beat Detroit and St. Louis. If they lose tonight then they'd have to take at least three of @Seattle, @Chicago, @Green Bay, Chicago, @Houston, Green Bay. I'd say it's possible to snag two games out of that, but I don't see three.

If they win tonight though it makes a huge difference and puts them in good position, but it still won't be an easy road.

Actually next week against Seattle is already a must win for them, regardless of what happens tonight. If they drop that one they'll be fighting for 9 wins. And even if they still pulled out 10, Seattle should be able to match that rather easily and would have the tie breaker.

I'd say Green Bay for one wildcard spot and then either Seattle or Arizona.

I think Seattle having beat both Green Bay and Dallas might factor into wildcard scenarios also.

It doesn't have to be. 6 wins at the halfway point is a great head start on securing a wildcard. How many wins do you think the last wildcard team is going to end with? While they may not be favored in a majority of those games, last time I checked the favorite doesn't win every single week in the NFL. I don't think it's a stretch to say they can win 3 out of their last 8 games.

Then again all that hinges on tonight and winning first.

Im the always pessimistic Vikings fan, but I have a feeling the Bucs take it tonight. Eventhough the Vikings defense has played well this season, mobile QBs always give us fits. And Ponder has played like poop the last 2 games.
